George Perles is a Michigan State graduate whose ties to the university span more than a half-century and a variety of roles.
The former football coach, athletic director and current member of the Board of Trustees is now a key figure in a lawsuit involving former Michigan State sports medicine doctor Larry Nassar, who will spend the rest of his life in prison after being convicted for sexual assaulting young girls and women.
Former Michigan State field hockey player Erika Davis filed a lawsuit alleging she was raped and impregnated in the spring of 1992 by Nassar, who allegedly videotaped the rape.
